Description

It'd be great if I could just use the PGP key that I already have generated rather than having to create a new one.

Research direction
The issue requests the ability to import existing PGP keys instead of only generating new ones. Review the current key generation code in the repository (likely in src/ or similar) to understand the key format and storage. Look for any existing code related to key import in the codebase or comments in the issue. Consider using a library like OpenPGP.js to parse and import keys. The implementation should provide a user interface option to either generate a new key or import an existing one.
